Guinea-Bissau own goal fires Super Eagles into AFCON knockouts

Super Eagles beat Guinea-Bissau 1-0 in the last group A clash in the 2023 African Cup Nations, thanks to own goal by Opa Sangante.

Sagnante diverted Moses Simon’s dangerous cross into his own net to give Nigeria a first-half lead in the 37th minute of the Monday’s last Group A clash in the ongoing 2023 Africa Cup of Nations tournament in Cote d’Ivoire.

Moses Simon’s cross from the left wing into the box was heading to Osimhen at the back post, forcing Sangante to have to get a touch, and he diverted the ball past his own goalkeeper.

There was a slight suggestion that the ball could have gone out of play during that move, but VAR was satisfied and the goal upheld.
